Very very basically, there has to be depth to the photo sensor, that's the nature of current sensor technology and if they removed the condenser lens then the sensitivity would fall as not all of the pixel area is light sensitive. They can however offset the condenser lenses (as they have done in the case of the Leica M8 sensor) in order to provide a compromise response between rays that hit the sensor perpendicularly and those at the most acute angle. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
